How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life.

你的时间是有限的，不要浪费在过别人的生活上。不要被教条所困，那是活在别人思考的结果中。不要让别人的意见淹没了你内心的声音。最重要的是，有勇气跟随你的心和直觉。它们已经知道你真正想成为什么。

The poet must purify the words of the tribe.

万物浑然天成，吾辈因何而生?

The best art comes from pain.
